Communication
School Phone:
PHONE NUMBER 252-238-3983
The school phone is our first line of communication with families and the community. When you call the school you will be greeted by one of our Customer Service Staff who will provide answers to your questions or redirect your call to another person. *Families should use the school phone, rather than your child’s cell phone, to inform the school of changes in contact information, changes in student transportation, and any other instances concerning your child.
Voicemail
Every Administrator, Student Support Staff and Teacher has an extension where you may speak with them directly or leave voicemail. Teachers are not likely to take outside calls during instruction, but are available during their planning period and after dismissal. Please leave your name, your child’s name, your phone number and a brief message.
Student Use of the School Phone
We prefer that students use the school phone to communicate with family members during the school day. Use of personal electronics is discouraged except for retrieving contact information.
Student Reunification Forms
Each student is required to submit a Student Reunification Form. This form is the only reference for contacting families in an emergency situation. Students may not be released from the school or any emergency evacuation location with any person who is not listed on the form. Information on the form must be updated when telephone contact information changes.
